Ryan touched on a number of topics, including energy and education, but hammered President Barack Obama the most on economic issues.

“In a 'Live free or die' state, we want to live and prosper,” said Ryan.

Ryan said Obama's economic agenda has failed, not because it was blocked, but because "it was passed."

"All these promises were made on the idea of hope and change, and it sounded pretty good," said Ryan. "The ideas were old ideas that have failed time and time again."

Ryan railed against Obama's economic plan for the next four years.

“The economy is barely growing, and the president has no idea how to grow it,” said Ryan.

Ryan added that America can't raise taxes on small businesses.

“We want them to hire more people. That is essential,” said Ryan.

He also made the case for his running mate, Mitt Romney, to become the next president of the United States.

"We need leadership to get this country back on track ... and that leader is Mitt Romney, and that man is gonna get our country back on the right track,” said Ryan. "President Obama has become part of the problem, and Mitt Romney is the solution."

This was Ryan's second trip to New Hampshire in two weeks.
